Default Mesh grill? Tacky?

So i've got a vertex front bumper and no FMIC.... i feel the need to put something there and was wondering if black mesh would look tacky?

What do you guys think? Not exactly that chicken coupe fence stuff..... but something similar?

Or should i just leave it?

I think mesh would be good, if its a good heavy gage. It would kind of match your wheels. Or painted, or powdercoated mesh would be nice.

I always had the idea of getting custom stamped, aluminum, grill inserts. Like from an industrial sign manufactuor, with a unique repeditive pattern, or logo/design.

No. They have a ploter, and computer. Basically, any design you can come up with, they can copy and duplicate/replicate.( I.E. You could have a Lv grill, if you wanted).

I don't think it'd be a horribly bad idea to use black mesh. It would be hard to notice and still block leaves/trash from flying into that huge opening..
